#1 The Copts need some security advice. For example, while it is good to have state security, it should only be the outer ring. The inner ring has to be all Copt. Likewise, vehicle barriers are very easy to fabricate.

Typically, such attacks are of three types. Either an individual with a suicide belt; or a group with belts, rifles and grenades; or a car bomb. So that is what you plan for.

They should have long since petitioned the government to permit them to have an armed security militia, even if that militia is only permitted in the vicinity of their churches. As well as a firm rule that the police cannot confiscate the militia's weapons before or during such a mass gathering.

More than anything else, they have to have constant push on the government for anything they can get. They cannot rely on the government or police to do anything for them, so they need government to at least get out of the way. (Sounds familiar)
